exterior rain screens are panels fitted to the exterior of buildings to allow water to run off, with a cavity between the panel and the building that provides some insulation as well.
ACM is "Aluminium composite material", a cheap alternative to full-alumium panelling. Typical ACM panels are two thin sheets of alluvium with a layer of resin in-between.
Resin, it should be noted, is flammable

I suppose the only positive spin on this as it was in such as diverse area of London its very unlikely that anyone actually British died.

In a few years time when all the investigations are complete. People from the managing authority sweating on manslaughter charges.
ACM stands for aluminium composite material, which is the same combustible product blamed for fuelling nearly a dozen major high-rise fires globally in the past decade, including in Melbourne in 2014.
One person was killed and another six people injured in Roubaix, France, in 2012 after Mermoz Tower was refurbished with flammable cladding.
There have also been dramatic tower fires linked to the aluminium panels with polyethylene core in the United Arab Emirates, South Korea and the United States.
Veteran fire safety engineer Stephen Kip said combustible cladding could help a blaze spread up the facade of building, starting fires on many floors.
"All of the fire safety systems in buildings, like sprinklers, are in the inside, not the outside," Mr Kip said.
It is understood the external cladding upgrade at London's Grenfell Tower was part of a recent €8.6million ($14.5 million) refurbishment.
London-based developer Rydon completed the project, according to the company's website. Rydon director Andrew Goldman told ITV's Good Morning Britain: "We don't know there is any direct link between the fire and cladding."
A permit was granted for the refurbishment in early 2014.
Fairfax Media has attempted to contact Rydon and Harley Facades Limited for comment.
London Fire Brigade has confirmed a number of people have been killed in the blaze. It follows reports of residents waving mobile phones and cloth from their windows as apartments were engulfed in smoke and flames.

So are there any news articles actually talking possible death count #s? Or will the actual number just be swept under the rug in a week or so and we'll all just marvel at the "poor structural conditions of the flat"? I can't find a single number online.

Maybe it's a tad bit difficult to confirm the number of fatalities when a goddamn tower with hundreds of inhabitants is lighting up like a christmas tree, and still smouldering?
Just a thought.

So basically everyone above the first few floors then? Whatever it's mostly muslims there anyway i don't even care i was just curious. I didn't and don't know how long it's been burning for. Figured it had been out for a while and they could actually discuss the aftermath (who what where when why, etc.)
